MOJA ARTS FESTIVAL
A CEL EBRATIO N O F AFRICAN-AMERICAN
AND CARIBB EAN ARTS
DEAR MOJA SUPPORTERS:
On behalf of the MOJA Arts Festival Planning Committee, we extend greetings and
welcome you to the 2014 MOJA Arts Festival: A Celebration of African-American and
Caribbean Arts celebrating the 31st anniversary of the festival. We wish you the most
memorable experience at this year’s festival. The planning committee has developed a
program that we feel is entertaining, educational and informative. This year’s offerings
include our featured Jazz vocalist, Regina Belle; Pearl Cleage is the highlight for our Literary Corner and dance icon Carmen de Lavallade headlines at the Historic Dock Street
Theatre.
We have wonderful theatre and visual arts offerings in various venues.
Alvin B. Glen serves as this year’s poster artist with his image “Wali”. And we continue to
honor at the Community Tribute Luncheon, members of the community who give unselfishly of themselves to improve the quality of life in our community. We express our
sincere thanks to all of you who continue to support MOJA as sponsors, contributors,
volunteers, Advisory Board members, Planning Committee Coordinators and Members
and ticket buyers.
We lost one of our most ardent supporters and volunteers this year, the Jazz Committee
Coordinator, Gloria M. Bell. She loved MOJA and always worked hard to make the festival a success. We love and miss her.
We especially express our deep appreciation to the Office of Cultural Affairs’ small but
dedicated staff, Scott Watson - Director, Harrison Chapman, Rachel Dewyngaert, Alicia
Evans, Anne Quattlebaum, Francina Smalls-Joyner, Mindy Manziano, Gordon Rooney
and Ray Swagerty. We also express our heartfelt thanks to adjunct staff members. We
sincerely thank the Honorable Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. and Charleston City Council as
well as Congressman James E. Clyburn. MOJA’s stature as a major arts festival in the
Southeast is due in large part to their continued stalwart support and commitment. We
feel that we have, once again, planned a first class festival with top talent, diversified
program offerings, educational and senior outreach programs that will engage and inspire the entire community. We hope you enjoy the 2014 MOJA Arts Festival and look
forward to greeting you at as many festival events as possible.
Sincerely,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The MOJA Arts Festival, a celebration of African-American and Caribbean Arts, a project of the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, is a multi-disciplinary festival
that celebrates the rich heritage of African-American and Caribbean people and their
contributions to Western and world cultures. MOJA, a Swahili word meaning “One,”
is the appropriate name for this celebration of harmony amongst people. The MOJA
Arts Festival is produced and directed by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs in cooperation with the all-volunteer MOJA Arts Festival Planning Committee.
The MOJA Arts Festival is funded in part by grants from the City of Charleston, County
of Charleston and the South Carolina Arts Commission that receives support from the
National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. In addition, we are grateful to the
following corporations and agencies for their major grants and sponsorships in support of the 2014 MOJA Arts Festival.

The Historic Dock Street Theatre, 135 Church Street
PRODUCED BY: Art Forms & Theatre Concepts, Inc.
ADMISSION: $25 General, $20 Seniors & Students with ID (up to 23)
Art Forms & Theatre Concepts, Inc., the premiere African-American theatre company
of the Lowcountry presents, BUBBLING BROWN SUGAR, back by popular demand.
This sizzling musical revue will have you tapping your feet, clapping your hands and
leaving the theatre humming and smiling. The production includes more than three
dozen songs with fabulous costumes. The outrageously prodigious comic and musical
soul and style of 1930’s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping
revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s best. The revue features music from
the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, and rent
parties. BUBBLING BROWN SUGAR evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy
of Harlem during this period that is also referred to as The Harlem Renaissance era.
The production features Caitlin Barth, Ernest Brown, Sonja C. Deas-Reed, Ashley Hale,
Jasmine Jackson, Said Kelly, Trane’ N’Chel, Tyrone Reese, Timberly K. Simmons and
Monique Y. Waters under the musical direction of Howard N. Brown, Sr. and his high
energy band.

Regina Belle was born in New Jersey, her early experience was in gospel, though she
was also attracted to R&B during her childhood. A New York disc jockey introduced
her to the Manhattans, and she began working as their opening act. Belle recorded
a duet with them, “Where Did We Go Wrong,” that was produced by Bobby Womack
in 1986. She earned a solo Columbia contract in 1987, and the single “Please Be
Mine” earned both praise and a number two R&B hit. A follow-up single, “So Many
Tears,” also made the R&B Top 20, and the hit “Without You,” pairing her with Peabo
Bryson. In 2008 she returned to her gospel roots with “Love Forever Shines”, and had
just begun a career shift to gospel when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor a
year later in 2009. She recovered her health and released a second gospel album,
Higher, in 2012. Opening the night’s concert is Charleston’s own Rochelle Whitney
Green to set the mood for the evening.

MUSIC - UNSUNG HEROES: AFRICAN-AMERICAN SONGS
AND STORIES OF THE CIVIL WAR
6:30pm
Bond Hall Auditorium, The Citadel 171 Moultrie Street
ADMISSION: $11
The Citadel Choir and the NoSeeums Band will present a chorale program that will
raise up the unsung African-American heroes of the Civil War, from slaves to freedmen,
field hands to boatmen by exploring in song and word their triumphs and tragedies,
their bravery and sacrifice, and their interactions with people from both the Union and
Confederacy. Traditional songs and gospel spirituals from the era will be performed
along with original compositions by musician Dana Downs and spoken words from
relevant texts celebrating these unsung heroes. For example, “Ballad of Robert
Smalls,” an original Downs composition, tells the story of the enslaved boatman
who commandeered a Confederate supply boat and sailed it through the Charleston
Blockade. Quotations from Frederick Douglass, John Brown, and other voices of the
time will be interspersed with these songs. Together, this powerful musical exploration
of the African-American heroes of the Civil War will make for a moving and uplifting
musical event to complement the array of MOJA offerings.
This program is sponsored by The Citadel’s Fine Arts program and The Citadel’s
Multi-Cultural Student Services department.

2014 MOJA ARTS FESTIVAL OFFICIAL POSTER
“WALI” BY ALVIN B. GLEN
ABOUT THE ARTIST: A native of Dorchester, South Carolina, Alvin B. Glen began drawing at an early age. He was always drawing for teachers and friends, and was always
at the top of his class. He aspired to attend South Carolina State University to study
music. While registering at the college he noticed the visual arts sign. After a short inquiry, he changed his major to visual art with a minor in education. He never intended
to teach, but the education minor was a safety net for him. After seeing the glow of
success on his students’ faces, after they have had an “ah-ha” moment during a lesson,
locked him into education. Graduating from South Carolina State University, in 1979,
with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education, he went on to become a certified
Art instructor, Band Director, and was voted Teacher of the Year. He currently teaches
art at Harleyville-Ridgeville Middle School, and has been an art teacher for 31 years.
As for Alvin’s work, his earlier work contained mixed-media; (pencils, fabric dyes and
spray paints). Presently, he combines those medium with watercolor, dye and pencils.
His work is mostly inspired by children and the elderly. He sometimes creates work reminiscent of people and events from his past, church, school and even his students.
He have competed and placed in many juried art exhibitions, served as an art exhibition juror and have exhibited in solo and group art exhibitions extensively, including
Columbia Museum, Columbia, SC, Black Arts Festival, Atlanta, GA, MOJA Arts Festival,
Charleston, SC, Piccolo Spoleto Festival, Charleston, SC, I.P. Stanback Museum at S.C.
State University, Orangeburg, SC, the Spartanburg Arts Center, Spartanburg, SC and a
host of other venues. His work is in numerous private, public and corporate collections.
Currently, he is exhibiting at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery in Charleston, SC.

Foundation on Anson Street in Charleston, SC.
